About

Mission Status: SICK refers to a webcomic by Tumblr user dat-soilder made in June of 2014 in response to another Tumblr user's post in which a man shoots a wasp nest with a sniper rifle from the moon, resulting in members of mission control celebrating as a screen reads "Mission Status: SICK." The comic became the subject of redraws over the following years, while the final panel became the subject of parodies and saw use as a reaction image, often post to news stories and videos that seem incredible.

Origin

On March 15th, 2014, Tumblr[1] user officialunitedstates made a post reading, "I want to be the first person on the moon to shoot a sniper rifle at earth and hit a wasp nest. my whole life so far is leading up to that moment." The following day, Tumblr[2] user dat-soldier, as a response, drew an astronaut getting out of a lander on the moon with a sniper rifle and shooting a wasp nest on earth. The final panel shows mission control with a screen in the background reading "Mission Status: SICK". Within ten years the post gained over 925K notes (shown below).
